PERHAPS  never  since  the  really  old  daySy  has 
story-telling  had  such  a  large  place  in  the  life 
of  the  child  as  at  the  present  time.  The  de- 
mand for  the  story  is  felt  by  the  teachers  in  all  the 
grades,  by  the  director  on  the  playground,  by  the 
librarian,  and  by  the  Sunday  School  instructor.  As 
for  the  mother,  she  has  always  recognized  the  value 
of  the  story,  but  even  her  recognition,  and  her  need, 
at  the  present  time  seems  a  more  definite  and  specific 
one. 

With  the  demand  for  the  story  comes  the  need  for 
the  right  material.  The  average  teacher,  student  and 
parent  have  all  too  little  time  at  their  disposal  to  search 
for  good  material, — material  which  will  require  the 
least  possible  preparation  in  the  matter  of  adaptation. 

The  following  stories  have  been  tested  in  many 
schools  and  grades,  and  the  present  classification  is 
the  result,  the  story  being  finally  placed  in  the  grade 
where  the  appreciation  and  understanding  seemed  to 
demand  it. 

That  there  are  sometimes  but  three  or  four  stories 
taken  from  a  book  does  not  mean  that  the  remaining 
stories  may  not  be  excellent,  but  rather  that  those 
mentioned  have  been  found  especially  suited  for  the 
place  given  them  in  this  outline. — /.  O.  MacKenzie. 


A  list  of  Nursery  Rhymes  and  Stories  is  in  preparation  for 
the  Home  and  Kindergarten.

"The  mere  fact  that  a  thing  has  existed  for  a  thousand  or  two  thousand  years  is 
not  always  proof  that  it  is  worth  preserving.  But  the  fact  that  after  having  been  repeated 
for  two  thousand  years,  a  story  still  possesses  a  perfectly  fresh  attraction  for  a  child  of  to- 
day, does  indeed  prove  that  there  is  in  it  something  of  imperishable    worth."— /^tf//x  Adler.

■'Jesus  was  a  master  story-teller.  He  did  not  invent  the  parable;  the  rabbis  used 
it  constantly;  but  so  skillful  was  his  use  of  this  device  that  in  our  thought  it  is 
associated  almost  wholly  with  his  name.''— -Edw.  Porter  St.  John.

"The  moral  ideas  inculcated  by  the  fables  are  usually  of  a  practical, worldly  wisdom  nort, 
not  high  ideals  of  moral  quality,  not  virtue  for  its  own  sake,  but  varied  examples  of  the 
results  of  rashness  and  folly.  This  is,  perhaps,  one  reason  why  they  are  so  well  suited  to 
the  immature  moral  judgments  of  children.''— C/iarles  A .  McMurray.
